A GROWING number of burglaries have been reported on a street where the street lights aren’t working.
According to residents, Millside Walk, Shafton, has been without street lights for three weeks and there have been a series of break-ins.
Peter Makinson, from Shafton Parish Council, said: “We reported the street light issue three weeks ago but they are still out - I think that’s unacceptable in an area that predominantly has elderly residents.
“People have been scared to go out because of what’s been going on.”
A police spokesman confirmed there has been several burglaries at properties on or near Millside Walk since the beginning of July.
The issue will be discussed at the next PACT meeting at Cudworth police station on Wednesday at 2pm.
